Entrepreneurs’ human capital and growth aspirations: the moderating role of regional entrepreneurial culture (2019, background): “…of role models that encourage entrepreneurial action, offer a supply of examples of how to be a successful entrepreneur (i.e. best practices) and provide access to both tangible and intangible (i.e. knowledge on how to achieve business growth) resources (Bosma et al. 2012; Gnyawali and Fogel 1994).”
The Relational Organization of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (2017, background): “Having a mentor increases an entrepreneur’s performance (Ozgen and Baron, 2007; Bosma et al., 2012) and their presence in a region increases overall firm formation and survival rates (Lafuente et al., 2007).”
The Impact of the Family Background on Students’ Entrepreneurial Intentions: An Empirical Analysis (2020, background): “Walter and Dohse [29] argue that social networks play an important role in transferring tacit knowledge regarding how to seize entrepreneurial opportunities, with parental role models serving as a substitute for tacit knowledge obtained through entrepreneurial experience [28].”
A systematic literature review on entrepreneurial intentions: citation, thematic analyses, and research agenda (2015, background): “Boyd and Vozikis (1994), in turn, develop Bird’s (1988) model and make it converge with the TPB model, although this was not their specific objective.”
Industry structure, entrepreneurship, and culture: An empirical analysis using historical coalfields (2016, background): “Such mechanisms also affect the family, university, neighborhood, and the regional level in general (e.g., Bosma et al., 2012; Chlosta et al., 2012; Fornahl, 2003; Kacperczyk, 2013; Minniti, 2005; Krueger et al., 2000; van Auken et al., 2006; Arenius and Minniti, 2005; Davidsson and Honig, 2003;…”
The impact of story bound entrepreneurial role models on self‐efficacy and entrepreneurial intention (2012, background): “Entrepreneurs tend to have role models of the same gender (Bosma et al., 2011).”
Individual Determinants of Self-Employment Entry – What Do We Really Know? (2013, neutral): “…some studies shift the spotlight away from parents and spouse to friends, colleagues, and neighbors, suggesting that this influence may also matter (Djankov et al., 2006; Stuart and Ding, 2006; Lafuente et al., 2007), namely though the role model channel (for a discussion, see Bosma et al., 2012).”
Cross‐Country Determinants of Early‐Stage Necessity and Opportunity‐Motivated Entrepreneurship: Accounting for Model Uncertainty (2018, positive): “…Lehmann 2006; Baumol and Strom 2007), cultural values (Tiessen 1997; Welter 2012), formal institutions (Bjørnskov and Foss 2010; Kreft and Sobel 2005; McMullen, Bagby, and Palich 2008; Nystr€om 2008), and even post-materialistic values (Uhlaner and Thurik 2010) and role models (Bosma et al. 2012).”
Entrepreneurial learning from observing role models (2017, background): “…Hamilton 2011; Konopaski, Jack, and Hamilton 2015; Pittaway and Thorpe 2012) and particularly how entrepreneurs learn through observing individuals with whom they interact in social contexts and who are often referred to as role models (Bosma et al. 2012; Hoffmann, Junge, and Malchow-Møller 2015).”
The Long Persistence of Regional Levels of Entrepreneurship: Germany, 1925–2005 (2014, background): “Recent research has demonstrated the importance of role models and peer-effects that may partly explain the persistence of such a culture (BOSMA et al., 2012; CHLOSTA et al., 2012; DOHMEN et al., 2012; LASPITA et al., 2012).”
Individualism and entrepreneurship: Does the pattern depend on the social context? (2016, background): “This is the case, for instance, employment experience – a relevant source of information, skilldevelopment and knowledge that may be relevant to the start-up decision (Dahlqvist et al., 2000) – or role models – facilitating vicarious learning (Bosma et al., 2012).”
The Motivational Theory of Role Modeling: How Role Models Influence Role Aspirants’ Goals (2015, background): “Similarly, Paice and colleagues (2002) note that “excellent role models will always inspire, teach by example, and excite admiration and emulation” (p. 707; see also Almquist & Angrist, 1971; Basow & Howe, 1980; Bell, 1970; Bosma et al., 2012; Gibson & Cordova, 1999).”
Understanding the Social Role of Entrepreneurship (2016, positive): “Training on the job also exposes nascent entrepreneurs to successful role models (Bosma et al., 2012) whom they can emulate or rely on for guidance and advice.”
Entrepreneurial ecosystem elements (2019, background): “Examples from the literature are successful entrepreneurs becoming venture capitalists, role models, leaders and network developers in the region (Bosma et al. 2012; Garnsey and Heffernan 2005; Mason and Harrison 2006), which we interpret as positive feedback effects of entrepreneurs on the…”
